looks like the KF2 will be the replacement platform for the SV2?

Crafty devils £££, they could have done this in the first place!

I guess this has been done more for the U.S. Market, and particularly stock classes where the reduced drag of the straight belt run and lower weight will help a lot.

Ture, in the US they talk alot ablout the weight, they want it super light, and they also want to aim for the same weight distribution as the Team Associated RC10 B5M, 37% Front / 63% Rear weight distribution, think its the best for clay.

tbh. Dont think all options parts are "Most have".. I run the KF2 as low grip whit shorty and 90% on carpet tracks, and i love it!

I want to give Schumacher a thumbs up, they really do a great job..

No, it's been done to help secure a top three finish in the Euros at RHR Dirt, starting Monday.
Got to get Michal Orlowski in the A final at least.

One of the Schumacher drivers in the U.S. has been testing this layout for a while now, it's all on RC Tech if anyone wants to look.

What a load of shite. If that was the case would have been a one off or still preproduction. I would say plenty of testing will have been done on other surfaces other than dirt.
